TALKING ABOUT THE ART OF BEAUTY

The world is full of beautiful things, and how I'm so passionate about it, the possibility to add to our lives people with a clear vision of beauty, who are willing to share it with us, or even to materialize it for us, can only be a positive addition. These days I have been realizing the amount of beautiful things that have the Portuguese stamp and can transmit us this feeling, this glow.

"The Most Resilient in the Dawn", thus is entitled the exhibition inaugurated last Friday at the Casino Estoril and that I had the pleasure to visit. In an easily readable painting for those who, like me, are laymen in the world of painting, the reality of our days is portrayed by Mário in traces of sarcasm, ironically satirized. By his hand we are driven to explore the forgotten past of childhood, as we reflect simultaneously in idyllic worlds and in abandoned beliefs.

Another example of this amazing ability to make us reach the beauty of moments is the work of Bruno Marques, a sculptor from Oporto, author of a wonderful repertoire, with whom I had the pleasure of depriving.

Sitting at the dining table, with two extremely interesting people, my longtime friend Maria Joana Vilela and Bruno Marques, in a relaxed and something familiar mood, the conversation has flowed in every direction. A great way to finish my day, spent in wonderful company, suddenly making me feel a richer person.
